With apologies and a shout out to Kyle Lobner‘s long-running “Thursday Thinker” series over at SBNation’s Brew Crew Ball, I decided to create a Sporcle quiz based on something to do with the Milwaukee Brewers.

That’s because I was recently reminded that earlier this season a Brewers starting pitcher achieved a significant round number.

That pitcher is Wily Peralta. That round number is games started (by a pitcher) in Milwaukee Brewers franchise history.

Peralta became the 21st pitcher to start at least 100 games for this franchise which seemed like a relatively small amount given that one needs roughly 3.5 healthy seasons to accomplish it. I was intrigued as to how it compared to the rest of the active franchises in baseball so I spent some time looking that up. More on that in a future column, but for the sake of some fun let’s see how strong your trivia muscles are feeling this morning.
